About the wine
Marica's hidden gem Bardolino is the ultimate silky-soft summer red
-
If you’d not heard of Bardolino until now, you wouldn’t be alone. This off-the-beaten-track pocket of the Veneto has long been overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, like Valpolicella. But Marica Bonomo is on a mission to make the Bardolino region famous around the world. And with mouthwatering reds like this, it won’t be long before everyone wants a piece.
-
Bardolino actually benefits from the same soils, the same climate, the same winemaking tradition... even the same grapes you’ll find in top Valpolicella wines. So the quality is top-notch. It’s a different beast to your classic Valpolicella and Amarone fare though, it’s a softer, more elegant type of wine. Perfect for sipping in the summer sunshine.
-
It’s also the ultimate pizza red. Fresh and ripe, with aromas of red fruits, wild herbs and spices, which all carry through in the flavour. It’s soft and generous in the mouth, and just slips down a treat.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Marica Bonomo
-
We knew Marica would be a perfect fit for Naked when she joined us back in 2022, and that Angels would love her wines. But to go from a standing start to Winemaker of the Year in just two years is nothing short of extraordinary.
-
Marica is exactly the kind of hard-working, humble but uber-talented winemaker Naked was set up to support. A third generation winemaker, her family have been crafting top-quality Italian wines for 66 years, up in the hills near Lake Garda in the Veneto region. They don’t use pesticides or herbicides, and can paper the walls of their recently renovated, solar-powered winery with so many sustainability credentials and certificates. And by producing only wines that come from their own vineyards, Marica knows the identity and soul of every single grape that goes into them.
-
In recent years, Marica’s wines have started to get noticed in high places, including being named in the ‘Top 100 Wines’ in the world by Wine Spectator. And now she’s topped it all by being named your 2023 Winemaker of the Year. It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.
